Town Hill Avalanche

Town Hill Avalanche

This avalanche was triggered by a skier on the adjacent low angle slope on "Town Hill" which is the terrain just above Cooke City.  The gully where this avalanche occured had received a heavy load of wind blown snow.  Another avalanche was observed nearby that was triggered by a falling cornice.  Photo: B.
